governor chris christie apparently missed the lower the expectations memo. here he is sunday. >> i have absolute confidence when we get to thursday morning all of you are going to be shaking your heads saying it's a brand new race. >> that's a bit off script for the romney campaign which for the last week has praised the president's strong speaking abilities and debate experience. romney hopes to turn the tables during the debate. "the new york times" said that is just not likely. history shows only two elections have seen a big impact from the debates. the first, of course in 1960 during that first televised debate when americans saw kennedy and nixon on t.v. the second was the year 2000 when george bush overtook vice president al gore. as john mentioned earlier in the show that does not mean it is time to get complacent. one thing romney could have going for him is that the jobs report is out just 36 hours after the first debate. more john fugelsang coming up on the full court press and we're always live in chat, join us there, current.com/billpress. you'r
